A Delaware man who was married to former first lady Jill Biden decades ago pleaded not guilty Tuesday to killing his second wife<\/a> in Delaware.\u00a0<\/p>\n

William Stevenson, 77, is charged with killing Linda Stevenson, 64, who was found unresponsive at their home in Wilmington on Dec. 28.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He remains in custody on $2 million bail after being charged with murder on Feb. 3.<\/p>\n

Linda Stevenson ran a bookkeeping business and was described in her obituary as a family-oriented mother and grandmother and a Philadelphia Eagles fan. The obituary does not mention her husband, despite them having been married for 40 years.<\/p>\n

William Stevenson, founder of the popular Delaware music venue Stone Balloon, ,appeared remotely in court Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The pain of losing<\/a> her is paralyzing and the emptiness in my heart is an abyss,” Linda\u2019s daughter, Christine Vettori, wrote in a Facebook post after her death. “Most days I can barely breathe.”<\/p>\n

Stevenson married Jill Biden in 1970 when she was an 18-year-old University of Delaware<\/u><\/a> student and he was 23. The nuptials lasted five years before they divorced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stevenson remained a critic of his ex-wife, but said he wasn’t “bitter” about the way things ended.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not bitter because, if it wasn’t for my divorce, I would never have met my wife Linda and she’s the greatest thing in my life,” Bill told the Daily Mail<\/u><\/a> in a 2020 interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jill Biden went on to marry former President Joe Biden<\/a>, who served in the White House from January 2021 to January 2025.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the office of Joe and Jill Biden.\u00a0<\/p>\n
